Any thoughts on that discrepency?
hbwc builds a lot more pressure--I can tell that in my 52-1Anything over 3 gr. accuracy goes away. I can load up to 5gr be in my wheel guns--38s--but I shoot a 141-148 hard cast .357 dewc. A normal load for my target is 3.5 BE 25 & 50. My 52-1 likes a .356 141 gr. bnwc turned around with 2.9 be.--JACK
